(JNS) – Harvard Chabad condemned the university’s student yearbook for omitting the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the war against the terrorist group in Gaza.

An Israeli military representative has released updated figures and insights on the current campaign in Gaza, dubbed Operation “Gideon’s Chariots,” which builds on the IDF’s ongoing operations over the last 18 months.
According to the information provided, the Israel Defense Forces are on track to gain complete tactical control over roughly three-quarters of the Gaza Strip within the next two months. At present, they have secured just over 40% of the region.

A newly released exposé sheds light on what the authors describe as a deeply insular and powerful group of advisers controlling the Biden White House, likening the dynamic to that of a “politburo” operating behind closed doors, as the president’s physical and cognitive condition reportedly continued to diminish.
This inner circle, dubbed the “politburo” in Original Sin, consisted of longtime political operatives like Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti, and Bruce Reed, as well as close family members, including First Lady Jill Biden and Hunter Biden, the president’s son.

One program distributes laptops in rural Iowa. Another helped people get back online after Hurricane Helene washed away computers and phones in western North Carolina. Programs in Oregon and rural Alabama teach older people, including some who have never touched a computer, how to navigate in an increasingly digital world. It all came crashing down this month when President Donald Trump — on his own digital platform, Truth Social — announced his intention to end the Digital Equity Act, a federal grant program meant to help bridge the digital divide. He branded it as “RACIST and ILLEGAL” and said it amounts to “woke handouts based on race.” He said it was an “ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway,” though the program was actually funded with $2.75 billion.

Kayhan, the official mouthpiece of Supreme Leader Khamenei, praised the terror attack on 2 Israeli embassy staff in Washington DC last week, and called the attacker the founder of the “Washington Basij,” echoing Iran’s brutal paramilitary force.

Hogan Gidley on Biden cognitive cover-up: “The American people were left without a commander-in-chief. It is absolutely disgusting that the media did this, too, pretending as though what every single American saw with their own eyes – someone who couldn’t speak, or walk.”

Russia and Ukraine swapped hundreds more prisoners on Sunday, the third and last part of a major exchange that reflected a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire in the more than three years of war. Hours earlier, the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and other regions came under a massive Russian drone-and-missile attack that killed at least 12 people and injured dozens. Ukrainian officials described it as the largest aerial assault since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russia’s Defense Ministry said each side exchanged 303 soldiers, following the release of 307 combatants and civilians each on Saturday, and 390 on Friday — the biggest total swap of the war.

Tens of thousands of Poles took part in dueling patriotic marches in Warsaw on Sunday, led by the two men vying for the presidency in a June 1 runoff election which is expected to be both close and consequential for the nation’s future. Many of those who joined Sunday’s marches had traveled from across Poland, a country of nearly 38 million people, not just to support a candidate but to rally behind sharply divergent visions for the nation’s future. At the head of one march was Rafał Trzaskowski, 53, the pro-European Union mayor of Warsaw. He is a close political ally of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who has led a centrist coalition government since late 2023.

B”hEvery parent dreams of watching their child grow up healthy and happy. For Racheli, that dream was shattered the moment her youngest daughter, Gitty, was born. Three years ago, Gitty came into the world with a rare combination of severe heart defects. From her very first breath, she was in danger. “She was so tiny,” recalls Racheli, her voice trembling. “We were told there was no option but to fly her to Boston immediately for surgery. She was just a month old.” Thanks to a complex operation overseas, Gitty survived. But survival came with a heavy price – emotionally, physically, and financially. A Life of Hospitals, Flights, and Fear Since that first surgery, the family has been living a life few could imagine.

Rav Dov HaKohen Kook, the Tzaddik of Tiveria, has issued a directive sharply criticizing a common practice among religious emergency responders—returning home by car after responding to Shabbos emergency calls. The prominent mekubal has labeled the practice a serious violation of Shabbos.
“I was shocked to learn that all the chareidi and religious responders are returning home by car,” Rav Kook was quoted as saying on Kol Chai Radio. He added that he had been unaware of the phenomenon until this week.

Rav Yisroel Bunim Schreiber, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Nesiv Hadaas, is in need of great rachamei Shamayim.
